Cycle Syncing Meal Prep 11

What I’m eating this week to support cravings, energy, and my hormones.

Cycle Syncing Meal Prep is a recurring series where I share how I prep real-life meals in alignment with my cycle, focusing on balance + nourishment.

The luteal phase… we all know her. And if we’re being honest, a lot of women dread her. But I promise you, this phase does not have to be horrible.

Yes, it’s natural for energy to dip a little, for you to turn more inward, crave warmer meals, and suddenly feel like chocolate is speaking directly to your soul. But there’s a reason for all of that. Your body is communicating with you.

We basically have a built-in roadmap telling us what we need throughout the month based on our hormonal shifts… we just were never taught how to read the map.

That’s a huge reason why I make these cycle syncing meal preps. They help me give my body the nutrients it actually needs in each phase so my period doesn’t suck, my PMS feels more manageable, and I can work with my body instead of against it.

During the luteal phase, I like to focus on magnesium, B vitamins, complex carbohydrates, anti-inflammatory foods, and balanced meals that support blood sugar. Because fun fact: we tend to be more sensitive to blood sugar instability during this phase.

On the Menu This Week:

Dark Chocolate Pistachio Seed Cycling Chia Pudding, Homemade Cashew Milk, Southwest Chicken Salad Crunchy Baked Tacos, Lemon Goat Cheese Stuffed Salmon with Coconut Rice + Sauteed Spinach, and Small Batch Gooey Black Bean Brownies.

Let’s prep!!
